Provincial order-in-council 1141, allowing golf courses as an outright use of farmland, opened the way for urbanization of BC’s remaining farmland. Development pressures seemed unstoppable and when it came to rezoning, most people were happy to accept the maxim “you can’t fight city hall”. Only 3% of BC is arable land, a vital resource for food security. It is also wildlife habitat, especially for wintering and migrating waterfowl, shorebirds 14th Annual and raptors. In 1988, when bird habitat on Boundary Bay was threatened by golf course development, a small group of naturalists and conservationists thought it was time to fight back. The Boundary Bay Conservation Commit- tee (BBCC) was born, and went to court to prevent the rezoning. At the time, forty-four golf course applications were filed for farmland south of the Fraser River. Richmond conservationists were struggling to protect Terra Nova, the last agricultural land remaining on Sturgeon Banks. Similar efforts occurred throughout BC. Unremitting work by conservationists engaged the media and the public, and the issue grew wings. A proposed development on South Delta’s Spetifore farm resulted in the longest public hearing in Canadian his- tory and a unique citizen-led plebiscite that showed 98% of residents opposed to rezoning. Even though BBCC’s court case was defeated in the Supreme Court, all the efforts were not in vain. Less than a year later, pro-development municipal politicians were voted out of office, not just in Delta but in many other municipalities, and shortly after Mike Harcourt’s NDP was elected on a May 6 - 9, 2011 pro-farmland platform. His first action in government was to rescind order- ...come celebrate the migration in-council 1141.

  • Inaturalist How-To Guide
    Official charitable partner of BC Parks Your Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a BC Parks Citizen Scientist bcparksfoundation.ca/inaturalist 1 #iNatBCParks Calling All Citizen Scientists The BC Parks iNaturalist Project is bringing together citizen scientists – British Columbians, visitors and anyone who enjoys B.C.’s provincial parks and protected areas – to document biodiversity in B.C.’s parks using iNaturalist. By using this powerful, trusted mobile app and website to document observations of plants, animals and other organisms, British Columbians and park visitors can contribute to the understanding of life found in B.C.’s parks and protected areas. The BC Parks iNaturalist Project is a collaboration between: What is ? iNaturalist is a mobile phone app and website used around the world to crowdsource observations of plants, animals and other organisms. Users upload photos of observations and iNaturalist’s image recognition software suggests the identity of the organism. A community of keen citizen scientists called “identifiers” then confirm the 2 identity of documented species, helping correct any errors and verify observations to make them research grade. Why is citizen science important? Your observations through the BC Parks iNaturalist Project create an interactive record of your own explorations in B.C.’s parks and protected areas, while helping improve the understanding of the species that live in or travel through our province. You may come across rare species, species at risk and species that aren’t well-studied. Your observations may help track population and distribution changes over time as a result of factors such as climate change. It’s free.

  • Assessing the Cooperative Management Regime in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site
    Master’s Thesis Assessing the cooperative management regime in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site Mr. Jean-Phillip Sargeant (BSc. Honours) Advisors: Dr. Bradley Barr & Mr. Jamie Alley University of Akureyri Faculty of Business and Science University Centre of the Westfjords Master of Resource Management: Coastal and Marine Management Isafjorður, January, 2015 Declaration I hereby confirm that I am the sole author of this thesis and it is a product of my own academic research. __________________________________________ Jean-Phillip Sargeant ii Abstract Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site is often seen as a seemingly functional cooperatively managed protected area. Through the Archipelago Management Board (AMB), the Government of Canada and the Council of the Haida Nation manage this culturally and ecologically significant area from “mountain top to deep sea” together. In early 2014, the AMB invoked, for the first time in its history, the dispute resolution clause of its founding agreements. Based on interviews over a 5-month period with key-stakeholders, this study examined the potential repercussions of this action. The complexity that surrounds this cooperative management regime is exacerbated by the history behind each party, a shifting ecosystem it attempts to manage, and continuing disagreement over land-claims. Issues surrounding decision-making authority and governance are central to this thesis. This presents a significant challenge for the AMB, but it also provides opportunity for the AMB to clarify its role and responsibilities in managing Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site.

  • Wells Gray Park
    reconnaissance and preliminary recreation plan wells gray park by c.p. lyons Parks Section forest economics division b.c. Forest Service – 1941 – Reference No. p41 General file: 0135867 preface Wells Gray Park is an outstanding potential recreational area; it has remarkable scenic attractions as well as exceptional fishing, big game hunting and wilderness area possibilities. The Park is located about 100 miles north of Kamloops in the Kamloops Forest District and is accessible by the Caribou and North Thompson River regions. The proper development of this area as a Provincial Park depends upon planned recreational management in order to adequately provide for present and future use. With this objective in mind, a reconnaissance of the Park was made in 1940 by Mr. C.P. Lyons, whose report and preliminary recreation plan is herein detailed. Sufficient information is now available to introduce planned management but it is still necessary to make further investigations before extensive developments take place. For the time being commercial lodge and campsite privileges on Crown land should be restricted to a minimum and, if possible, confined to guides of hunting and fishing parties who now make use of the Park. It would be particularly advisable to limit locations for commercial enterprises to the specific regions detailed in this report and to stipulate a maximum value for construction and development work. By so doing adjustments could be more easily made to suit any detailed management plan which may be prepared in the future. Existing private use on Crown land should be brought under a permit system and there is no reason why expansion in this direction should not be encouraged.
